Sagittarius Season: A Cosmic Quest for the Soul
From November 21 to December 20, the cosmos welcomes us into the luminous embrace of Sagittarius season, a time when the sky calls us to embark on a grand inner adventure. The Archer, the symbol of the seeker, urges us to journey beyond the known and venture into uncharted realms—both within ourselves and in the world around us. This season is not just about exploring distant lands, but about unlocking the mysteries of our own hearts and minds, chasing the horizon of possibility with curiosity as our compass.
This year, Sagittarius season invites you to step into the unknown, not in search of external treasures, but to find a new, more authentic sense of self. The Archer’s arrow is pointed inward, guiding you to redefine who you are, what you stand for, and where you are heading. The past may feel like a distant memory as you set your sights on a future filled with potential and promise.
But take heed: this inner quest will be marked by moments of reflection, recalibration, and sometimes, unexpected returns. With Mercury retrograde nearly the entire season—from November 25 to December 15—the cosmos brings back people, ideas, and moments that once seemed lost to time. Exes, old friends, and long-forgotten dreams may reappear in the most serendipitous of ways, forcing you to reflect on what has shaped you thus far—and what no longer serves you on your evolving path.
While Sagittarius season often carries a vibrant, celebratory energy, this year, the focus is less on immediate action and more on the necessary steps that will allow you to embrace radical transformation when the time is right. The November 19 shift of Pluto into Aquarius—complete and irreversible—signals that your world is changing in ways that require you to break free from outdated patterns. Your career, your daily habits, and your very sense of what “success” means are being reimagined under the light of a brighter, more visionary future.
Embrace the invitation of deep transformation, but know that this process may not be swift. In fact, it will require you to sink into a state of soul-searching that will unfold over the coming months. This powerful shift is ushered in by Mars’ retrograde, which begins on December 6 and lasts until February 2025. This is no ordinary retrograde—it’s a cosmic recalibration of your desires, passions, and drive. It will likely pull you toward a quieter, more introspective phase, where you reassess what truly matters and how to channel your energy toward what nourishes your soul.
At the new moon in Sagittarius on November 30, take a moment to surrender to the magic of this transformation. Write down your intentions for this journey, creating space in your schedule for rest and reflection, as your body and mind will need time to process the deep shifts taking place. This is a season to honor the sacred pause, to listen to your intuition, and to trust that the stars are guiding you to something far greater than you can yet see.
Your Sagittarius Season Horoscope + Tarot Card
Aries
For you, Aries, this season marks the beginning of an unexpected inward journey. While Sagittarius season usually sparks your adventurous spirit and thirst for new experiences, this year, the stars encourage you to slow down and turn your gaze inward. Mercury retrograde, from November 25 to December 15, brings a wave of nostalgia, urging you to revisit old haunts, reconnect with past friends, or even explore past passions you thought were long gone. Your desire for exploration might find its expression in revisiting relationships, travel plans, or creative projects that once lit your fire.
But the true cosmic dance of this season comes with Mars’ retrograde, beginning December 6, when the universe whispers for you to recharge. This pause isn’t a sign of stagnation but of inner transformation. Mars, your ruling planet, invites you to explore what it is that truly sparks your passion, and what drives you at your core. With Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, your professional path is evolving, urging you to find a pace that honors both your ambition and your inner peace. Between December 6 and 12, use the time to reflect on what kind of future you want to create—not just for your career, but for your soul’s journey.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: The Devil
This is not a bad card, Aries—what it inspires is a true intention to do some serious shadow work! What are your dark secrets? Or perhaps, the true desires that lurk beneath that tough exterior? The Devil gives you the opportunity to be true to yourself, as only then can you find liberation from your own thoughts, desires, and inner judgment.
Taurus
This season, Taurus, the cosmos encourages you to reflect on your resources—both material and emotional. The stars align for you to review your finances, values, and your relationship with abundance, especially during Mercury retrograde (November 25 to December 15). This is a time for revisiting old budgeting strategies or paying down lingering debts, but there is also a quiet call to reconsider your values, your self-worth, and what you truly need to feel nourished. The November 30 new moon is the perfect time to set intentions for a more sustainable future, focusing on cultivating both physical and emotional wealth.
As Mars begins its retrograde journey on December 6, your focus will shift toward home and family matters. You might feel a pull to reorganize or transform your living space, whether that’s clearing out old clutter or deepening connections with those you share your space with. By December 15, when the full moon illuminates your sector of relationships, you’ll feel the pressure to clarify boundaries and intentions with those you hold close. The message is clear: this season calls you to solidify your foundation so that your growth in the coming year is rooted in a strong sense of inner security.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: The Chariot
With the help of this card, you will be able to stay cool and collected in the face of adversity, Taurus. Even better: The Chariot inspires harmony between your left and right brain sides—or you can see it as your masculine and feminine energies. Before making important decisions, meditate (while holding this card in both hands- if you have it) for at least seven minutes—then, you will be ready to act.
Gemini
Gemini, this season is a cosmic invitation for you to reflect on your connections with others and revisit the way you express your ideas. With Mercury retrograde (November 25 to December 15) activating your house of partnerships, relationships—whether romantic, professional, or platonic—are likely to be a central theme. During this time, old conversations or unresolved issues may resurface, offering you a chance to clear the air and deepen your understanding. The Sagittarius new moon on November 30 is a potent moment to set intentions for your relationships, allowing you to release what no longer serves you and to welcome in connections that truly resonate.
Mars, too, will be retrograding in your sector of communication from December 6 onward, which could bring misunderstandings or miscommunications to the surface.

This season, Cancer, your focus is on refining your daily habits and routines. Mercury retrograde from November 25 to December 15 invites you to review your health, your work-life balance, and your overall wellness plan. This is not a time for rushing ahead, but rather for reflecting on the patterns and practices that nurture your body, mind, and spirit. During the November 30 new moon, consider what needs to be cleared, adjusted, or improved in your daily life to bring more balance and peace into your routine.

Libra
This season, Libra, your mind is a treasure chest of ideas and possibilities, and the stars are asking you to reflect on how you communicate and connect with others. Mercury retrograde (November 25 to December 15) stirs up old conversations, teaching you the art of revisiting, rethinking, and reworking old ideas and projects. This period is perfect for reconnecting with those from your past or for revisiting unfinished business, whether it’s a conversation with an old friend or a creative project that never quite got off the ground.
Mars’ retrograde on December 6 adds a layer of soul-searching to your communication style. You may find yourself reassessing your approach to speaking, writing, or connecting with others. Are you truly expressing your most authentic voice? Between December 12 and 15, as Venus and Mars clash, you may find yourself at odds with someone over how you communicate.

Scorpio, as Sagittarius season unfolds, your focus turns to the material world—your finances, resources, and sense of security. With Mercury retrograde from November 25 to December 15, you’re called to review your relationship with money, perhaps revisiting old financial plans or reworking your budget. The new moon on November 30 offers a fertile opportunity to plant seeds for long-term financial stability, allowing you to lay the groundwork for a prosperous future.
Mars’ retrograde on December 6 adds an element of transformation to this area of your life, as you reflect on what truly drives you to seek abundance.

By the December 15 full moon, you’ll gain the clarity needed to make empowered choices that set the stage for greater abundance in the coming year.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: Temperance
Temperance is a card of self-mastery. You’re being called to practice moderation in everything that you do, Scorpio. This might refer to your spending but also when it comes to managing your emotions. If you feel triggered in the season ahead, make yourself a bath or be near the water to call in this card’s protective vibes.
Sagittarius
Dear Archer, this season brings a profound invitation to reflect on the ways your closest relationships have shaped you. With Mercury retrograde between November 25 and December 15, you’re called to revisit the connections that have defined your path—whether they’re romantic, familial, or friendships that have left an imprint on your soul. The universe is asking you to slow down and ask: How have these bonds influenced who I am today? And more importantly, What do I truly want moving forward?
The November 30 new moon in your sign is a rare and precious moment to tune out the noise of the world and retreat into your own inner sanctuary. Use this time to ask yourself what you want to create in the coming year—both for your heart and your life’s journey. This birthday season holds a different energy for you, one of quiet awakening. Your mind feels sharper, more focused, and ripe for epiphanies that could shift your entire perspective. The Mercury cazimi on December 6 offers a spark of clarity—a perfect moment to clear your mental space and record any flashes of insight that emerge. Trust that these revelations hold the key to unlocking your next steps.
From December 6 to 19, the retrograde of Mars may have you feeling a bit uninspired or restless, perhaps even bored with your usual routine. This is a cosmic nudge to shift your focus inward, rather than chasing external distractions. Instead of booking a spontaneous adventure, use this time to dive deep into a subject or passion that has been quietly calling to you. Whether it’s a book, a class, or a new area of study, allow yourself to explore something that ignites your curiosity. This is not a time for outward action, but for enriching your mind and soul in ways that will bring long-term fulfillment.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: The Sun
With the luminary of the day traveling in your sign, you’re in the spotlight. The fact that you’re deeply transforming this birthday season does not mean you do not get to shine! Meditate with The Sun as you imagine yourself uncovering new and exciting talents in the year ahead. Carry it around on Sundays while doing activities that bring you joy and happiness!
Capricorn
Capricorn, the cosmic winds this season are asking you to slow down and embrace the quieter rhythms of life. With Mercury in retrograde from November 25 to December 15 and Mars following suit on December 6, the usual pace of your ambitious endeavors will be gently suspended, offering you a chance to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Contracts may stall, and projects could feel more like puzzles than progress, especially around December 4 and 6 when clarity eludes you.
But within this stillness lies a hidden gift. As the external noise fades, the whispers of your inner world become louder. Mars’ retrograde in your intimacy sector invites you to dive deep into your connections—whether with a partner, family, or collaborators. Discussions around shared resources, investments, and commitments may come to the surface in December, especially around December 12 and the full moon on December 15. These moments of reflection will ultimately pave the way for greater understanding. By December 19, as Venus and Jupiter align in harmonious bliss, you’ll find a renewal of energy just in time for your season to shine, and the new year to unfold with promising opportunities.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: The Moon
The sky’s luminary of the night guides you in retrieving old information from your subconscious mind so you can make the unconscious conscious once your birthday season arrives, Capricorn! As you tuck The Moon, this powerfully feminine card under your pillow, set the intention for the light of the moon to illuminate your fears, so you can begin alchemizing them into power!
Aquarius
Ah, Aquarius, this season beckons you to reconnect with your sense of belonging and community, while also taking stock of the relationships that define you. Mercury’s retrograde from November 25 to December 15 stirs up old ties, resurrecting forgotten friendships, conversations, or even past mentors. The universe invites you to reassess who you surround yourself with and whether their energy still aligns with your evolving path. Around the December 6 new moon, a revelation may occur, bringing clarity to your social sphere and the truths you’ve been searching for.
However, it’s Mars’ retrograde that will truly stir the cosmic pot within your relationships. From December 6 onwards, a surge of restless energy may have you seeking more freedom and space, particularly in committed bonds. This period calls for a careful examination of your need for independence and liberation, especially when Venus and Mars lock in a cosmic standoff on December 12. The messages the universe sends will be crystal-clear: some relationships are meant to evolve, while others are ready to be released. Trust that as the year transitions, the connections that remain will be the ones that truly resonate with your soul’s unique frequency.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: Death
Something inside of you—a feeling, a desire, or even an attitude—is being removed from your life so you can begin moving into new orbits, Aquarius. Some call this process “ego death,” which in the end, seeks to ignite a new way of getting you back in touch with your inner power! Stare at the Death card whenever you feel like you’re clinging to the past, and watch it make miracles around you.
Pisces
For you, Pisces, this Sagittarius season holds the promise of deep refinement and evolution. While Sagittarius season often ignites career and professional growth for many, this year, the stars are guiding you inward to perfect your craft and hone your skills. Mercury’s retrograde, from November 25 to December 15, invites you to revisit past projects, adjust your methods, and fine-tune your ambitions. The days between December 4 and 6 will bring pivotal feedback, offering you the chance to realign and correct the course. Trust that this pause is not a delay, but a cosmic invitation to grow in ways that will serve you in the long run.
Meanwhile, Mars’ retrograde beginning December 6 breathes new life into your wellness journey, igniting a desire to reset your physical and emotional routines. Old habits may start to feel more like chains than comfort, urging you to release outdated patterns. The days surrounding December 12 will bring an a-ha moment, as your body and mind start yearning for something fresher and more vibrant. As the season winds down, the December 19 Venus-Jupiter trine brings a sprinkle of magic—perhaps a new tool, technique, or practice that will kickstart your transformation, offering you the chance to step into 2025 with newfound vitality.
Your Sagittarius Season Tarot Card: The World
This Sagittarius season, the World is your oyster, Pisces! While there will be a couple of hiccups along the way, you will receive the opportunity to showcase your incredible creativity and ability to switch gears. Put this card in your office or carry it while you fulfill your career duties to remind yourself that the universe has your back!
